The thousand points of view
June 3, 2006 by lorddeathchin
some say its a debate, some an arguement. it’s rather simple isn’t it? when 2 people have differing opinion and express them, naturally it is to try to convince the other party that their point of view is wrong. or so what others would think. after all, when we starting writing our opinions through the net, it can be easily misunderstood as an arguement. people take their pride rather seriously and we always, always assume that anyone with differing points of view is attacking us. after all, internet cannot convey emotions as well as face to face speech. alot of msgs are transmitted through body language and when we take that away, alot of ambiguity remains and our imagination start to fill it. and naturally, it would be filled the images that the other party is mocking us.
one such event was to arise with the opinion from a friend regarding the Iran nuclear issue. i would interpret it as very emotional considering alot words like ‘F**K’, ‘bloodyfool’ were weaved into the messages. and naturally being me, i love to give opposing views. cant say why, i guess it’s in my blood to do so. it was of course not with the intention to stir up a storm. i’d just love to know why it was so emotionally charged and the reasons behind it. as replies were replied. we have rather alot of different views. and again i posted counter views. there is always 2 sides to a coin. there is always more than one way to look at an event.
and finally, another reply was posted and this was giving views on a whole new level. There was no need to argue about things u can do nothing about it said. if we cant do anything about it, why bother? *grin* it is true. there is nothing much we can do about it. so why argue? thats where it got pretty interesting really. why debate over the net? it is pointless and foolish to say the least because if we do debate over the net, the lacking of emotional input that is filled by our ever imaginative imagination really fires things up. debate or arguement was never the main objective by the way. and if anyone who reads the thread interpret it as an arguement or debate, it is of little wonder.
being as fiery and as sarcastic a person that i am, speaking out my point of view is equivalent to trying to convince that the opposing party is wrong and that i am right and i want them to see my side of the world. HAHAHAHAHAHHA. only after reading the post i posted again did i realise that if i were to put in my usual personality, the whole essay turns into a barage of missles.
facinating. even though when u type sentences with such calm emotions. with absolute neutrality. with only ur main objective in mind, it can be interpreted so differently. Kerteh must have done quite abit for my temper AHAHAHAHHAH.
it is facinating isnt it the human mind. it is a realm so sacred most of the time only the owner strolls inside this sacred temple. all of us keep it that way. it is a defence. for should anyone break and succeeds to enter this protected sacred space, we become deathly vulnerable to their manipultions. however, it is precisely this sacred realm we expose to the world when we speak of our opinion. debates are not only channels in which we speak our minds. they are not only channels in which we try to throw out the other party’s point of view. it is also a channel to walk into another person’s mind. the more u speak, the more it reveals about the very place u intend to keep secret.
And i thank all who have replied and contributed to that thread. your views and ideas are most illuminating. Kansyashimasu.
Secrets are what we keep,
Protect it as best we can,
Defend it should the walls are breached,
Lay hidden from all it should always be.
Protect it as best we can,
Silence is our best defence,
Manipulators will try to pry,
Or perhaps they never needed to try.
The circle with the five pointed star,
Seal this temple with the light of red,
Blind the ancient Illuminating Eye,
Break this seal only when He sees fit.
